Romans 3:20-28 KJV Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. [21] But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; [22] Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: [23] For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; [24] Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: [25] Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; [26] To declare, I say , at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. [27] Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. [28] Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. |

tosinjay:you still see Grace as an "it" not a He which will distort Grace as a thing. |

hopefulLandlord:Observing what? I thought you are an atheist, what are you observing? Grace? You need grace? IT IS FOR FREE! You can receive by faith alone. |

tosinjay:I am afraid you are thoroughly mistaken. The grace of God is the eternal life that you receive from Jesus Christ when you are saved from the condemnation of sin(not to be confused with sin itself) which is Death. In place of Death which you deserved for your unbelief, Christ gives you instead Grace since you now choose to believe, and so you are no longer condemned to die but are able to live eternally thanks, not to grace, but Jesus Christ. To suggest that the grace(eternal life) you receive from Him takes the place of the Spirit of God is to reveal you are working under some serious delusion there. tosinjay:The grace(eternal life) which God has given you in place of Death, does not grant you any of what you have listed above. All grace is is an extension of your lifeline into eternity. It is not meant to be worshipped or exalted in any manner of form. And it does not save. Instead your salvation from Death is courtesy of Jesus Christ Himself. tosinjay:Again with more meaningless lies! God is Love and God is True. Jesus Christ, the Word of God is the Truth of God. tosinjay:The grace(eternal life) you receive by believing in Jesus Christ gives you no such thing as a calling. The worshipping of grace(eternal life) in any way of form is idol worship! |

This is the first thread I've come across which made it to FP without a single comment. Well, no need to raise hell, it's worth it, a very beautiful post that could pass for a Sunday sermon, as it were. [yes I am biased to the right, goan report me to ur class captain]Well, there are indeed those who will continue in sin even after being redeemed from Death and gifted with eternal life(grace) from. For them, Hell has been prepared and so, it is their choice to continue in sin and yes, eternal life(grace) is for eternity! |

davibid:Wrong! Grace refers to the eternal life that you have in Jesus Christ. simple! Jesus Christ is the way, the Truth and the Life(grace)! |

Grace is also one line I use in putting the 'holier than though' Christian brethren in check whenever they begin to go off about their right standing and my seeming 'less than righteous' life.You are not saved by grace(eternal life). You are saved by believing in Jesus Christ, He is the one who then gave you eternal life(grace), taking away the condemnation(Death) placed on you by God before that. And yes, you did work in order to obtain that eternal life(grace), that work is the obedience of Jesus Christ's command that you believe in Him in order to be saved from the condemnation of sin(not to be confused with sin itself) which is Death. |

iliyande:Grace simply refers to the eternal extension on life that Jesus Christ gives to you when you choose to believe in Him. Nothing else to understand about grace except that it is not to become a god in your life and existence. |

rukz:Wrong! Eternal life(grace) does no such thing. You have been deceived into thinking that grace is some magical fount that gives and does for you that which Jesus Christ said instead that He will. Be careful that you do not make for yourselves idols of that which you have little understanding of. |

mizzyboy007:Eternal life is what grace really means. |
Re: Understanding And Receiving The Grace Of God by Kobojunkie: 10:46pm On Mar 31, 2021 |
Lateralmaths:Wrong! Grace is eternal life that we receive when we are saved by believing in Jesus Christ, nothing more. There is no such thing as grace for service.. that is gibberish! |
Re: Understanding And Receiving The Grace Of God by Kobojunkie: 10:48pm On Mar 31, 2021 |
uvalued:Grace is the eternal life that you receive in place of Death which you previously deserved when you make the choice to believe in Jesus Christ. |

tosinjay:Eternal life is a total package? What do you mean by that? |
